        <h1>Add an ITauthor glossary entry</h1>
        <p>The ITauthor glossary is an XML data file that is entirely separate from Flare's own glossary. To add an entry to the ITauthor glossary you must edit the data file using a text editor.</p>
        <p class="proclabel">To add an entry to the ITauthor glossary:</p>
        <ol>
            <li>In the Flare Content Explorer, open the <b>Resources/Glossary</b> folder.</li>
            <li>
                <p>Right-click <b>glossary.dat</b> and choose <b>Open with</b> &gt; <b>Internal Text Editor</b>.</p>
                <p>The XML data file is displayed in the editor. The file contains a collection of glossentry elements, arranged in alphabetical order of the glossary term. For example:</p>
                <p>
                    <pre xml:space="preserve">&lt;glossentry id="bitmap"&gt;<br />&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&lt;glossterm&gt;<br />&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&lt;![<nobr>CDATA</nobr>[                &#160;<br />&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;Bitmap
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;]<nobr>]</nobr>&gt;<br />&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&lt;/glossterm&gt;<br />&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&lt;glossdef&gt;<br />&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&lt;![<nobr>CDATA</nobr>[<br />&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;A standard Windows file format for image files ... the file name extension &lt;strong&gt;.bmp&lt;/strong&gt;.<br />&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;]<nobr>]</nobr>&gt;<br />&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&lt;/glossdef&gt;<br />&lt;/glossentry&gt;</pre>
                </p>
            </li>
            <li>Copy an existing entry, from opening &lt;glossentry&gt; tag to closing &lt;/glossentry&gt; tag. </li>
            <li>Locate the appropriate position, between a closing &lt;/glossentry&gt; tag and an opening &lt;glossentry&gt; tag in which to add your new glossary entry - maintaining the alphabetical order of entries.]</li>
            <li>Paste the copied entry.</li>
            <li>
                <p>Edit the <b>id</b> attribute.</p>
                <p>For ease of use and consistency, the <b>id</b> value should be the glossary word/phrase in lower-case type with any spaces removed. For example, if you are adding a glossary entry is for "Styles panel", the <b>id</b> should be "stylespanel".</p>
            </li>
            <li>
                <p>Edit the glossary term and the glossary definition, as required.</p>
                <div class="importantbox">
                    <p class="importanthead">Important</p>
                    <p>The term and the definition must each be preceded by &lt;![<nobr>CDATA</nobr>[ and 
followed by &#160;]<nobr>]</nobr>&gt;.</p>
                </div>
                <p>You can include text formatting and images within a definition by using the standard HTML tags.</p>
            </li>
            <li>Save and close the <b>glossary.dat</b> file.</li>
        </ol>
        <div class="notebox">
            <p class="notehead">Note</p>
            <p>After adding an entry to the ITauthor glossary you should always add the same term and definition to the Flare glossary. This ensure that all glossary popup definitions also appear in the Glossary panel of the online help.</p>
